Cumnock Highland Games

[cessna152towser]

An exciting start to a fine Sunday morning at Cumnock Highland Games as the Battle of Britain Memorial Flight Dakota performed three low flypasts over the field. This aircraft entered service with the USAAF in 1942 and later served the RCAF and then the RAF.

Members of the Royal Regiment of Scotland parachuted in from another aircraft to compete in the Tug o'War.

I was ready to meet people on the Clan Cunningham tent

The other half of team Cunningham at Cumnock, Councillor Rose-Ann Cuninghame, wife of Captain Robert H. Cuninghame of Caprington.

We were visited by the Chieftain of the Games, Bill Stafford and his wife.

Rose-Ann with two past chieftains, Bill Salmond on left and Willie Crawford on right.

We were visited by xmarker Tam Blackwood and his wife Mary Rose.

I had my wee pocket camera with me and took some shots of passers by, this wee lad in long kilt and matching hat was said to be visiting from Texas with his family

This was a first for me, spotting not one but two guys both wearing ghillie brogues, hose, flashes, sgiandhus and khaki SHORTS!
